🤔 RUMOR: Disney is reportedly eyeing a buyout of Epic Games, says ex‑The Verge reporter Alex Heath on a Matthew Belloni podcast.
Disney already injected $1.5 billion into Epic in 2024; parks use Unreal Engine, and Epic sells in‑game items tied to Disney IP. Some top execs allegedly want a full acquisition, others oppose it, yet Josh D'Amaro is said to be "500%" pro closer ties. Ultimately the call rests with Tim Sweeney, who controls all voting stock. Epic also announced layoffs of over 1,000 staff recently. Fortnite theme park, anyone?
